CAS: 850180-76-6

Ref. 3D-AJB18076

Product Information

• Name: 3-Azidopropanoate-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Azidopropanoate-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester is a fluorescent probe that can be activated by the addition of an azide donor. The fluorescence of 3-azidopropanoate-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester is dependent on the presence of serum albumin and can be used as a model system for studying albumin uptake and metabolism. This probe has been shown to have good uptake in lung cancer cells, which may be due to its ability to bind with the receptor on the cell surface. 3-Azidopropanoate-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester binds to proteolytic enzymes such as plasmin, cathepsins, and elastase, which are found in high concentrations in lung cancer cells.
